Executive Director of the public safety advocate, Nana Yaw Akwada, told GhanaWeb on Tuesday, August 25, 2020, that reports on Okada-related accidents show that majority of them happen in the busy urban areas. According to Nana Yaw Akwada, Mr Mahama “must tell us when you say regulating are you going to move them from the city centres? Which is what we at the Bureau prefer; because more than 80% of the deaths associated with the okada come from the city centres. “As a public safety advocate, any effort to regulate it is a welcome step.
